A month ago I posted about 101 things in 1001 days. I started my list (and am nowhere close to 101), but then I ran into this site called 43 Things. It is the same kind of idea, but the site will keep track of the things you want to do, tag them, see what things other people want to do (which is a big help in coming up with ideas). Check it out.

Turner Classic Movies and Miyazaki
ICv2 has posted information about a marathon of Miyazaki films on TCM in January 2006.
ICv2 has learned that in January 2006, Turner Classic Movies, a prominent cable and satellite network, will run nine animated features by the great Japanese anime director Hayao Miyazaki. Miyazaki’s movies have received scant exposure on American TV so the showings on Turner Classic Movies should expose a wide audience to these masterworks.
A complete list of the films (and airdates) will be released next week, but ICv2 has learned that TCM will show such Miyazaki-directed classics as: Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, My Neighbor Totoro, Nausicaa: Valley of the Wind, Castle in the Sky, and Porco Rosso, as well as Whisper of the Heart, which was directed by Yoshifumi Kondou, though Miyazaki wrote the screenplay, drew the storyboards and produced the film. [ICv2]
I’m pretty psyched. I’ve wanted to see Whisper of the Heart for a while. I’m also hoping for Kiki’s and The Castle of Cagliostro.

Anime on the iPod
More and more content for the video iPod keeps showing up. This time it’s anime from Central Park Media. Their initial offering is a show called Votoms. While I don’t have a video iPod it’s still stuff I can watch on my computer. But people are already putting out content.

To Watch For
On November 6th Cartoon Network starts showing the animated version of The Boondocks. Definitely something to check out. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the comic strip, Newsweek has an article about it and the upcoming show.

How to Make Cash With Your Kids
Sometimes you just hear about sites that sound oh so wrong. So, if you’ve got a daughter and want to make some extra cash, just send her over to RentMyDaughter.com.
It just sounds so wrong. Someone needs to work on their naming.

Dear Geneon
Please learn the difference between you’re and your. This is the second disc you’ve messed it up on.

Subtitles, Fansubs, and DVDs
I’m currently watching the first DVD of Girl’s Bravo and just ran into a screw up of your and you’re. At first I didn’t think much about it, but then I thought a bit more and was quite annoyed. It is one thing to download fansubs and have to deal with poor grammar. I pretty much expect it to happen. But when I’m paying for a DVD I expect better quality control.
That should be one of the big things for Geneon (who released this DVD) and other domestic companies strive for. Make a better product and people will have less of a problem paying for it. I should feel that when I am paying money I’m getting a superior product. This is already true with video and sound quality, but whoever is editing/doing QC on subtitles should at least know the difference between your and you’re.

Parents and Videogames
I always enjoy Halley’s blog and today she posts about parents and video games.
I rarely find parents who take THE TIME TO SIT DOWN AND PLAY the games with their kids. That’s what I’ve been doing for three years now. I stink at playing, but I know about a lot of games. Parents who don’t play think Tetris, Splinter Cell, Jak and Daxter and Halo are the same — and they are not.
…
As I mentioned below, even if you are a parent who has ZERO interest in actually playing videogames, please read the book “Everything Bad is Good For You” by Steven Johnson, to get a perspective on what a complex, artistic, challenging, educational excursion our kids are taking when they play. [Halley’s Comment]
My sister is one of those parents who has no interest in video games. She watches the ratings of the games, but really has no idea about the content most of the time. To me it seems like issue of paying attention to what your child watches on TV. Just because a show isn’t violent or whatever doesn’t mean that you would want your child watching it.
Then again, I don’t have a kid so I may not be qualified to say much about this. I do know that as a kid I would have loved it if my parents were more interested in the games I liked and wanted to play.

Fortune of the Day
Found in my fortune cookie tonight:
You won’t be bored for long! New adventures are on the way.
I think I like the sound of that.
